The conception and writing of Transatlantic Tales were a two-year, collaborative, 'across the pond' project between friends of more than twenty years. Their friendship initially formed out of a mutual love for poetry-both belonging to a (now non-existent) global poetry society. This book is a collection of short stories. Each month, titles of stories were proposed by one author with final selection by the other, on rotation. Completely independently, each author proceeded to come up with ideas to create his own unique, creative and imaginative story based upon the monthly title. Thus, the simultaneous birth of two totally different, unique and distinct approaches and storylines per title! As the book progressed and took shape, both authors were truly amazed and inspired by their coauthor's creation. Instead of being a monthly competition, Transatlantic Tales became a vector for mutual admiration and respect between two artists. It was a special endeavor which was mutually enjoyed and will bring memories of happiness, joy and pride to each of the 'Transatlantic' friends for many years to come.
